The dark isn’t scary because of what’s there…the dark is scary of what *might* be there. And might gives the story machine license to go crazy.
The boogie man has never jumped out.
But the boogie man still gets added to the script of what might happen…which can turn into what will probably happen…which can turn into what will happen…which can turn into turning around and going home.
Don’t let might get out of control when you’re facing the darkness.
